How can I support me and my baby?

I am pregnant and I will have the father in the life and we want to get married but I want to know how can I support me and my baby? I know there is wic and there is social security. I just want to know what else there is to help?

Answer #1

If you’re a minor finish school, go to college you need a degree to survive in this world. You need a good babysitter so that you can work on wkends and summers. Save your money, clip coupons, most social service agencies have daycare assistance and welfare.

The father to be if a minor should also find work and remain taking classes to pursue a college degree. Is his famiy willing to contribute financially and with babysitting?

Most young men do not remain around the pressures of a baby make them run but hopefully you are not going to have to experience that. Be prepared and there is always having matters handled through the courts (DNA testing, visitation and child support).

Eat right, read your Bible daily, pray and pray . Remain happy and look forward to your gift from heaven. Welcome to the world of responsibility.

Answer #2

Ask your boyfriend to get a job and a little later on you should take some evening courses [ while he is looking after your child of course] so that you could probably improve your job prospects in the long run.

Answer #3

Are your parents in your life? If they are, do they live anywhere near you? If they can, I’d ask them if they could help. You should find a small part time job, too, because with a baby the more money the better.

Answer #4

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  I don’t know about Social Security, but there should be some social agencies (probably state) that work with expectant mothers and mothers with new infants.

Also, if they have them in your area, Catholic Social Services and Lutheran Social Services.

Answer #5

It all depends on your man lol.. I got 2 kids, so I”m going to tell you str8 up, it ain’t easy. ESP if you and your man don’t stay togather… If you get a part time job and he is at work so he can’t watch the baby, you’re going to spend as much on daycare or a babysitter as you get for your check.. unless you have a trustworthy friend. Once your kid goes to school, it’ll get a little easier.. Just hope and pray that your man is willing to do one of 2 things, work his butt off to support you and the baby, or stay home with the baby and allow you to work lol.
